Friiboard Makes The Wii Balance Board Better For Skateboarding And Snowboarding Games

I'll be dammed if a simple convex piece of plastic is worth $US45, but if you are a huge fan of skateboarding and snowboarding games, the Friiboard looks like it will bring more realistic movement to the Wii Balance Board.

In other words, it gives the balance board a bit more wobbability (but less wobbability than Tony Hawk's Ride board). Again, not worth the asking price as far as I am concerned, especially since the "reviews" on the product page seem canned and their "sale price" uses some crazy math I am not familiar with.

Using ground-penetrating radar, scientists detected a massive reservoir of frozen water sandwiched by layers of sand beneath the northern polar ice cap on Mars. This reservoir contains so much ice that, if melted and brought to the surface, it would submerge the entire planet.
